Tell the US Trade Representative that strong-arming countries into US law isn't what you want

Sign a petition from our friends at Public Knowledge, telling the USTR to be wary of the interests of large media companies who don't represent the interests of most people in the US.

Recently, as they do every year, the US Trade Representative compiles
a list called the "Special 301 Report" -- essentially a list of other
countries who aren't trying hard enough when it comes to enforcing
American copyright laws locally.

Where does this list come from? Well, the big media companies and
trade organizations such as the RIAA and MPAA tell the USTR which
countries they think should be added, and why, and the USTR seems to
take these comments at face value, despite opposing comments from
not-for-profit organizations that seek to redress the copyright
balance.

We've seen recently what laws like SOPA and PIPA would do to a free
internet, and if passed, documents like the "Special 301 Report" could
be used to enforce those kinds of regulations on other countries.
